Can you send along 'head -n1' of coyote._bin.1?  The problem we had with this
recently was that the holding-disk scanning code looked for a timestamp in the
holding file header, but when usetimestamps=no, the header only contained a
datestamp.  But that was fixed on 5/15 (r329), and you're not using
usetimestamps=no, so I'm somewhat stumped.

Please also send the output of 'amadmin Daily holding list -l'.
